Chapter 31 Responsive and helpful

Gao Shuzhen was washing dishes in the kitchen when she suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: Is sister-in-law Shuzhen at home?

She immediately recognized Matoya's voice, and went to open the door as she agreed:

"Toya, when did you come back from Mudian?"

Toya: I just got home last night.

"Do we have to leave for a day?" Gao Shuzhen asked with concern.

"Isn't that right? Lele is a slow car."

"A Lele cart? Why do we still use a Lele cart? It's bumpy and slow."

"Hey, don't mention it. I planned to leave early that day and didn't want to take Asgen with me. This bastard kid secretly deflated the tire on the rubber tire the night before. Asgen thought it was punctured, but he found that the tire was not stuck.

I was on my way, so I got on the lele cart."

Gao Shuzhen laughed loudly after hearing this, and even said that little guy Asgen was so smart.

"You're so smart, but you're full of crooked ideas. This kid is so naughty that it can make a person angry to death."

"A boy who hunts for something good will find something good. The more he hunts, the more it shows that he has a lot of brains."

"That's how you praise him. It makes me so sad."

Gao Shuzhen turned the topic to Toya and said: Toya, you are so awesome. The walk from Mudian to home takes only one day. I don’t even dare to walk in the grassland by myself.

Toya smiled and said: Mongolians are all used to it.

Gao Shuzhen: Then you are really good, you are not just flattering me... Look at me, I am talking too much, hurry up and sit in the room.

Gao Shuzhen wiped her hands with her apron and led Toya into the back room.

Toya: Brother Tianfa is not at home?

"Let's go to the pasture."

"oh."

Gao Shuzhen's living and eating habits are a bit like the local customs. She served dairy products and fried fruit sticks and said: Eat some. The milk tea may be cold, I will heat it up.

Toya grabbed Gao Shuzhen and said: Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I drank at home. My mother just told me that you were looking for me.

Gao Shuzhen sat by the kang and said: I'm embarrassed to talk about it. Some time ago, I rummaged through boxes and cabinets and found two pieces of cloth and some colored threads left over from the past. I was thinking about embroidering a TV curtain, but I couldn't.

I don't understand half of it.

Toya glanced around the room, saw the curtain covering the TV, and stepped forward.

Gao Shuzhen blushed and said: This is it. I embroidered it myself. I really can’t do it in front of you.

Toya: It's okay. The embroidery is very good, but the colors of the flowers don't match well and they don't look bright.

Gao Shuzhen: That’s right. I originally wanted to wait until you came back to help me, but when I thought you were very busy and tired, I did it myself.

Toya smiled and said: Just practice your skills. Sister-in-law, give me the remaining cloth and thread, and I will help you embroider another piece.

Gao Shuzhen: Farewell, you are too busy. There are so many things at home, and you have to worry about animal husbandry, how can you have any free time?

Toya: It’s okay. I’ll finish the embroidery when I have the time. Besides, if you have time to come over while I’m doing the embroidery, I can also tell you about some stitching techniques and color matching.

Gao Shuzhen: Then - thank you then. To be honest, the curtain was covered on the TV. Your brother Tian Fa almost threw it away twice, saying it looked like a rag and made his eyes irritated. Haha...

Toya laughed.

…………

In the past few days, Matoya put down the embroidery she was going to take to Naadam to sell, and concentrated on helping Gao Shuzhen embroider the TV curtain. When she gave the embroidered curtain to her, Gao Shuzhen held it in her hand and liked it so much that she wanted to kiss it.

Take two bites.

Gao Shuzhen: Toya, your hands are those of the Weaver Girl in the sky. Seeing that the flowers are embroidered just like the real thing, I can smell the fragrance.

Toya smiled and said: Sister-in-law, just praise me. It smells like soap. I washed it after I finished embroidering it.

Gao Shuzhen: I also said, this is really amazing, how come it smells so good. Look at my "rag" again, haha, I really should throw it away this time.

Toya smiled. She never helps people for the sake of getting something in return, but when she encounters big difficulties, many people do lend a helping hand. This is what the shepherds on the Peacock Ping Grassland often say.

It embodies the connotation of the proverb "Borrow milk and return butter; Borrow donkey and return horse".

After helping Gao Shuzhen embroider the curtain, Matoya felt as if she had fulfilled a wish and returned a favor. She felt very relaxed. She took out her work again and embroidered it carefully stitch by stitch. Matoya

She is such a "transparent" person. As long as someone asks for help, she will definitely try her best to help. However, if someone offends her, she will definitely fall out with her at any time.

Narentuya loved her daughter very much. Seeing that she had been embroidering for a long time, she reminded her to take a break. She pushed Tuya and pointed at her eyes at the right time, meaning: Embroidery work is the most taxing on the eyes, so don't tire your eyes.

Bad.

Toya looked up at her mother and shook her head slightly, meaning "it's okay". The silent communication was a tacit understanding between mother and daughter.

Tuoya shook her head and suddenly felt that her neck was a little "rusty". She stopped what she was doing and rubbed it with her hands unconsciously. Naren Tuya saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to massage her daughter.

Toya: Mom, no, it’s okay.

Maybe the little mother didn't hear what she said, or maybe the old man heard it and ignored it, and continued to massage her daughter's cervical spine with moderate force. Toya closed her eyes, and two tears hung in the corners of her eyes.

Asgen, who was playing poker with his grandpa to compare points, secretly watched his grandma massaging his mother with the corner of his eye...

…………

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally got the money from selling the wool.

After shearing the sheep every year, Matoya basically sells them to the same merchant, and all of them are cash. This year, the merchant had problems with capital turnover, so he discussed with Matoya whether he could get it on credit. Of course, the credit is not free, and the price is per kilogram.

Toya agreed to the increase of three cents as she felt that there was a way to settle the account. For this reason, Maherdemutu complained that her daughter was too arbitrary: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others." What if this kid runs away?

Where can you find him when you're on the road? Toya replied at the time: First, we don't have enough money to run away, it's not even enough for travel expenses. Second, we know from our dealings in the past few years that he doesn't smash the scales or lower the prices, it's not like that

A kind of person who is greedy for profit.

After all, you have to worry about not getting the money. No, the merchant's capital turnover was running continuously and he came over to pay back the money. At that time, Toya was cooking dinner and counting the brand-new banknotes. The whole family was smiling.

What Asgen cares about now is not his delicious food and new clothes, but the new motorcycle that his mother had promised. Seeing his mother happy, he asked eagerly: Mom, is it time to buy a new motorcycle for dad?

Toya immediately became serious and said angrily: "Motorcycles, you know motorcycles every day? How can you buy a motorcycle with this money? Don't buy it!"

When Toya said this, Erdemutu was stunned. He looked at his daughter inexplicably and thought to himself: Toya has changed her mind? And she was fine just now, so why does she seem to be a different person?
